Inter Milan have been on the search for a replacement fullback. This comes as it was officially announced today, that Denzel Dumfries would join Real Madrid. Dumfries joined Los Blancos after they activated his 20 million euro release clause, after agreeing personal terms with him.

Dumfries, was a key part of Inter’s squad last season, providing four goal involvements. This all came while battling injury, which showed the Nerazzurri that he is replaceable for Cristian Chivu. That replacement looks to be Anan Khalaili, as he is getting closer to joining Inter.

Khalaili was first on the radar of Napoli in Serie A, as they valued the full back. However, those talks stalled as Napoli decided to focus on signing Mario Gila from Lazio. Gila now looks set to join AC Milan over Napoli as they offered him a higher salary. They also won’t be able to come back to Khalaili as Inter are full tilt to complete the deal.

This comes from a report from Nico Schira which states that Inter are close to completing a deal. Inter will spend roughly 20 million euros to complete a deal. This is less than than the 25-30 million which was thought to complete the deal. Khalaili and Inter have already agreed personal terms on a deal until 2031 (read more here)

Marco Palestra was set to be Inter Milan’s first signing of the summer. However, the deal fell through at the 23rd hour as Chelsea swooped in to sign Palestra. This left Inter stranded as they looked for a replacement for Denzel Dumfries who left for Real Madrid.

Inter Milan then began to look for replacements for Dumfries, as alternatives to Palestra. Dodo, Dan Ndoye, Wesley and Andrea Cambiaso where all names linked for Inter. But, none of these deals eventuate despite the fact meetings took place for some. This includes with the agent of Cambiaso at Inter’s headquarters today according to SportMediaset.

This lead Inter Milan to Anan Khalaili as he looked to be up for sale by Union Saint Gilloise. His talents, didn’t go unknown in Serie A with Napoli also interested in signing him. This came as Napoli wants to build a stronger defence for the future manager Massimiliano Allegri.

Napoli began in the lead to sign Khalili as they began talks with Khalaili and Union Saint Gilloise early. This is because he was Napoli’s priority target instead of someone like Palestra who would be more expensive. But, Inter have managed to overtake him in the lead to sign Khalaili.

This has led to the Nerazzurri, managing to reach a personal agreement with Khalaili according to Nico Schira. Khalaili has agreed to the contract in principle for a deal until 2031. This deal will see Khalaili earn 1.8 million euros per season. Inter Milan will now work to agree terms with Union Saint Gilloise.

Inter Milan will work tirelessly to try and agree a deal for Khalaili to make him their first signing of the summer. Pasquale Guarro is reporting that Inter Milan are ready to pay 25 million euros for Khalaili. This is Union Saint Gilloise allegaded asking price for Khalaili which should see the deal be completed soon.

Juventus are coming off a disappointing to the end of last season, as the club finished six. This meant they fell short of a UEFA Champions League place one of the clubs key objectives. However, the club has renewed their faith in Luciano Spalletti and are now looking to build a stronger team for them.

The first target will be a centre-back, as Spalletti wants someone who can play the ball. This comes as Juventus proved shaky at times during last season campaign which is also fueling the move. Jhon Lucumi was a lead target for the Bianconeri to sign on their search for a defender.

Juventus have managed to come to a personal agreement with Lucumi, as he is open to a move to Turin. But, the deal is still on hold as Juventus can’t agree financial terms with Bologna. The Rossoblu are asking for Juventus to pay the full 28 million release clause of Lucumi.

Juventus can only invest 20 million max into signing Lucumi. This is due to having finical fair play difficulties after missing out on the Champions League. While the deal could develop later in the window, once Lucumi’s contract extension expires. But, for now Juventus have moved into their back-up option.

This is Tarik Muharemovic, who previously was developed in Juventus’s Next Gen academy. However, he was sold by the Bianconeri to Sassuolo where he currently plays. Juventus are now looking to sign him back, by taking advantage of the 50% sell-on clause they hold for him and can waive.

This means that Muharemovic is now in Juventus’s price range, which has lead to the two reaching an agreement. This is according to Nico Schira who reports the two clubs have agreed terms for a deal worth 15 million euros with 3 million euros in bonuses. Juventus has also agreed personal terms with Muharemovic on a deal until 2031, that pays Muharemovic 2.2 million euros per season.
